Integrated Human Practices

Integrated human practices were really important for us as they shaped a big part of our project. We wanted to be certain that our product will be useful and adapted to the needs.
To do so we contacted all the organizations impacted by the problem:

Vine-grower insights

They are the ones suffering from the consequences of Flavescence Dorée...

Asking the right questions

We visited a vine grower in Chardonne, Switzerland and asked them a few questions about how their vines are impacted by the diseases

Understanding their pain point

Their vines are located in the hotspot of the vector. They had to destroy a big part of their vines due to the infection and are constantly in the “danger zone” in this region of Switzerland.

Validating and Optimizing our solution

An on-field test that they could conduct on a regular basis would allow them an early detection and will help prevent the spreading of the disease and hence cut down their losses
